## Introduction

Grok is xAI's assistant, and its bot builder lets you create a personal agent that holds context, runs skills, and connects to the apps you already use through plugins.
This guide explains how to connect TwitterShots to a Grok bot using Composio Connect, which handles OAuth, token refresh, and reliability so you do not have to. You add Composio as a plugin, authenticate once, then ask your bot to work with TwitterShots in plain language.

## TL;DR

Composio exposes 1,500+ apps to your Grok bot through a single connection, so you get:
- Connect to 1,500+ apps with on-demand tool loading, so you do not fill your context window with unnecessary tool definitions.
- Use programmatic tool calling through a remote workbench, letting the model write its own code to handle complex tool chaining. This reduces back-and-forth for frequent tool calls.
- Handle large tool responses outside the model context to keep conversations lean.

## Connect TwitterShots to Grok Bot

### Connecting TwitterShots to Grok Bot
Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect TwitterShots entirely from its interface, and the whole flow takes under a minute.
### Set up Grok Bot
Get access. Grok Bot is included with Cursor Ultra, Cursor Premium Teams, and SuperGrok Heavy. Get the desktop app for macOS or Windows from [x.ai/bot](https://x.ai/bot) and sign in. An iPhone companion app is also available, and your bots sync across devices.
Create a bot. Pick a suggested role or define your own, then give it a short name, one primary job, and a short description of how it should work. Focused bots work best, because a clear role gives the bot more useful context over time.
### Connect TwitterShots
### 1. Add the Composio plugin
Click the button. The Composio listing on x.ai opens and launches Grok Bot for you. If the app does not open on its own, click Add to Grok Bot.
[Add to Grok Bot](https://x.ai/bot/plugin/32661537)
Grok Bot opens the Composio plugin, showing its connector and skills. Click Add.
### 2. Authenticate
Go to the Installed section and click the Composio entry. You'll see its connector and skills listed.
Click Authenticate. You'll be taken to the Composio consent screen. Review the access it requests and click Authorize. Composio handles the OAuth handshake for you, so you never touch API keys or tokens.
### 3. Connect your TwitterShots account
Back in the chat, ask your bot to connect to TwitterShots or give it any TwitterShots task.
For example, ask it to:
- "Screenshot this public X product review"
- "Fetch tweet text from this URL"
- "Check your TwitterShots API usage"
It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.
That's it. Composio's tools are now available in your Grok bot, and your TwitterShots account is ready to use.

## What is Grok Bot?

Grok is xAI's assistant, available as a chat interface and a bot builder for creating personal agents that run skills and connect to external apps.
With Composio Connect, your Grok bot can securely access apps like TwitterShots through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

## What is the TwitterShots MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The TwitterShots MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your TwitterShots account. It provides structured and secure access to public X post content, screenshots, and account usage, so your agent can retrieve posts, collect posts in bulk, create screenshots, generate temporary screenshot links, and check API credits on your behalf.
- Public post retrieval: Have your agent fetch a public X post as structured Markdown, including optional statistics, media links, and quoted post content.
- Bulk content collection: Direct your agent to gather up to 100 public X posts into one Markdown document for review or analysis.
- Post screenshot creation: Let the agent render a public X post as an SVG, PNG, or HTML file that you can save and use.
- Temporary screenshot sharing: Instruct your agent to create a temporary hosted screenshot link for a public X post.
- API credit tracking: Have your agent check the total and remaining TwitterShots API credits for your connected account.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `TWITTERSHOTS_GENERATE_TEMPORARY_SCREENSHOT_URL` | Generate Temporary Screenshot URL | Render a public tweet or post and return a provider-hosted temporary URL. Download the result promptly or use Generate Tweet Screenshot when it must be retained. A successful render consumes one API credit. |
| `TWITTERSHOTS_GENERATE_TWEET_SCREENSHOT` | Generate Tweet Screenshot | Render a public tweet or post as an SVG, PNG, or HTML file suitable for saving. A successful render consumes one API credit. |
| `TWITTERSHOTS_GET_API_USAGE` | Get API Usage | Return the remaining and total TwitterShots API credits for the connected API key. This read does not consume a credit. |
| `TWITTERSHOTS_GET_BULK_TWEET_CONTENT` | Get Bulk Tweet Content | Fetch up to 100 public tweets as one Markdown document. Inspect the returned Markdown for a 'Failed to fetch tweets' section because individual IDs can fail within an HTTP 200 response. A successful bulk request consumes one API credit. |
| `TWITTERSHOTS_GET_TWEET_CONTENT` | Get Tweet Content | Fetch one public tweet as structured Markdown, with optional statistics, media links, and quoted-tweet content. A successful call consumes one API credit. |

## Conclusion

### Way Forward
Now that TwitterShots is connected, extend your setup by connecting the other apps you already use every day, so your Grok bot can run true cross-app workflows end to end.
- Connect Calendar to turn threads into scheduled meetings automatically.
- Connect Slack or Teams to post summaries, approvals, and alerts where your team works.
- Connect Notion, Linear, Jira, or Asana to convert requests into tickets, tasks, and docs.
- Connect Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive to fetch, file, and share attachments without manual steps.
Start with one workflow you do repeatedly, then keep adding apps as you find new handoffs. With everything behind a single connection, your bot can coordinate multiple tools safely and reliably in one conversation.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and TwitterShots MCP?

With a standalone TwitterShots MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of TwitterShots tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from TwitterShots and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Grok Bot?

Yes, you can. Grok Bot fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right TwitterShots tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for TwitterShots while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which TwitterShots scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your TwitterShots data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
